Colonial Campaigns Club (CCC)

Right then! I know what history books say about the Battle of Yorktown, that Lord Cornwallis surrendered the city to General Washington in 1781. (all lies BTW[:p]) Well this club is all about rewriting history, and as the Earl of Yorktown, that is what I intend to do. [}:)]

My proposal is simple; I will defend Yorktown against any and all Colonials, Frenchmen, or Indians playing Barry Maunsell's "Yorktown_b" scenario which can be downloaded from here: http://www.hist-sdc.com/zip/Yorktown_b.zip

This is a 25 turn daylight battle against prepared defenses covering quite a large front with 5293 Americans and Frenchmen attacking 5557 British regulars and their loyal German and Provincial allies, with both armies having a good number of cannons.

Several very important leaders are present at this battle including that subversive Prussian martinet <b>von Steuben</b>, that silly Frenchman <b>Rochambeau</b>, even that grand traitor <b>Washington</b> pokes his head out from behind a tree. Countering these treasonists are the dauntless Brigadier General <b>Charles O'Hara</b> who commands my very own Foot Guards, and of course the intrepid Lieutenant General Lord <b>Charles Cornwallis</b> himself.

I'm flexible, but suggested optional rules ALL on except:
Manual Defensive Fire
Rifle Fire Effects
Cornwallis Cannon

Suggested House Rules:
No column melees
No blocking enemy zones of control with leaders or supplies
No intentional blocking LOS with supplies

Would strongly prefer a minimum of 3 turn exchanges per week through game's conclusion or your inevitable surrender! My sword and my city are at stake, come and get them if you can Sirs.
